Here I am on top
The air is bright-sharp and clear
But you've gone elsewhere
Love can frustrate.

Bring me the rain,
of your always quenching
love.
Love,
love
me again
and again,
the sweetness of you drenching
me from
above,
above,
like the rain
I beg of you
to bring me
again.

Autumn curls whipped by wind
Her light faint and stained by shame
Tears run down rose cheeks


New day, new haiku!
And here is the last of the Seven Sisters! ^^
This haiku is for Merope. She is known as the lost Pleiad.
There are many variations of her myth but the one I am aware of is that out of her sisters, she was the only one to have had lusted and had was intimate with a mortal. Hence why her light is 'faint and stained by shame' compared to her sisters. So I was hoping to capture her insecurity in this haiku.
Let me know what you think!
Anyway, thank you all for growing followers, I'm forever humbled and grateful for the support🙏🌹💜

There are million things hitting my head
when it comes to you
I am a girl with a messy head and unbalanced emotions
Yet you leave me in a surprise
When with a small warm smile of yours
You tell me that you love me.
I know you are not interested in this play of words
that I do day and night
Yet you spend nights singing songs and listening my poetry...
Thank you.
Thank you Nadar♥

how stars suspended between the lines faded into gray
Then, I remember just how prosaic life has become
pre-pandemic life seems to be a reverie
